Is Go Portland Go going to convince commercial real estate owners to admit the market has changed and to lower rents to entice small businesses downtown? Or nah? #astroturf #portland

(TW sexual assault) I wrote an essay about a friend stopping a guy from sexually assaulting me when I was passed out drunk called “Lucky.” When stories like the Cornell 7 surface I think about how different my life would be had my friend not intervened.

Shout out to the agent who sent me a rejection within minutes of my query. Would have preferred a different result but I respect the speed! #writingcommunity #querylife

This thread is why I ALWAYS do carry-on and bring a ridiculous amount of snacks no matter how short the flight.

Between the PRs of (largely likely stolen) math breakthroughs, claims of "rogue AI" (actually cybercrimes by companies, but whatevs), and doomerist "whistleblowers", it feels like we've been subjected to a gish gallop of hype recently. >>

Just received my first scam offer of representation from a fancy literary agency. Achievement unlocked? Tempted to reply to see how long it takes for them to ask me for money.

Trump is constantly talking about how under threat he is from antifa or whatever, and meanwhile he's just letting some weird lady sleep in a crawl space directly above his head and then spend her days trying to clone him from scraps of his diarrhea.

During my lunch hour I stopped by to watch a Courtney Barnett soundcheck, picked up some peaches at the Farmer's Market, and watched some jugglers practicing in the Park Blocks. Good vibes abound! Three cheers for downtown Portland! #Portland

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

There are no ethical billionaires but this guy seems pretty bad and I am bummed he’s extorting Portland and Oregon to pay for his arena. No politician wants to be the reason the Blazers relocate so here we go becoming this guy’s latest mark.
